Broader Spectrum 

How does biotech work? It’s essentially a company that uses living organisms (for instance, bacteria or enzymes) to manufacture drugs. Living organisms are what differentiate biotechs from pharmaceuticals, which develop drugs with chemicals.

The analyst sees a lot of potential in biotech stocks. However, the clinical trials for these biotechs could fail, even if they do well with testing. The issue of money running out and companies needing to pay for clinical studies, complete regulatory filings, and bring new drugs to market are the significant risks associated with investing in biotech stocks.
